A
Forced March to the Cloud
As with every major information technology movement, the transition
to the cloud has its aggressive early movers and its reluctant
followers. Oracle Senior Vice President Chuck Hollis argues that
the stakes are too high to remain passive any longer.
More than a few executive teams, Hollis writes, are pushing their reluctant IT
departments by segmenting their budgets into "cloud" and
"non-cloud," setting long-term goals for how much
will be cloud by certain dates, and then requiring their IT leaders
to figure out how to get there. "Some will argue that setting a
cloud quota is an overly blunt, ham-fisted approach to a complex
problem," Hollis maintains. "Others will argue that the business
has little choice but to forcibly march IT in the required
direction. Both sides are right." |

creation, data collection and cleansing, and submission. "Clinical
teams will be able to access study data through Oracle's single

Rutgers
Builds Its Future on Oracle ERP Cloud
At the same time Rutgers University was dealing with reduced
financial support from the state, it absorbed the University of
Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey into its own medical school,
which meant merging staff, facilities—and two completely different
legacy finance platforms. Rutgers' administration chose a full
suite of Oracle Cloud applications, including Oracle Cloud for
Finance and HCM, so it could streamline business processes, create
a consolidated single cloud-based HCM and payroll system, and
reduce cost and complexity. Read the whole
story. |
